Digital filter design – Introduction

Key focus: Develop basic understanding of digital filter design. Learn about fundamentals of FIR and IIR filters and the design choices. Analog filters and digital filters are the two major classification of filters, depending on the type of signal signal they process. An analog filter, processes continuous-time signal analog signals. Whereas, digital filters process sampled, … Read more

Precoding for partial response signaling schemes

Introduction to precoding Intersymbol interference (ISI) is a common problem in telecommunication systems, such as terrestrial television broadcasting, digital data communication systems, and cellular mobile communication systems. Dispersive effects in high-speed data transmission and multipath fading are the main reasons for ISI. To maximize the capacity, the transmission bandwidth must be extended to the entire … Read more

Choosing FIR or IIR ? Understand design perspective

“What is the best filter that I should use? FIR or IIR ?” is often the question asked by many. There exists two different types of Linear Time Invariant (LTI) filters from transfer function standpoint : FIR (Finite Impulse Response) and IIR (Infinite Impulse Response) filters and myriad design techniques for designing them.  The mere fact … Read more
